None of my UPNP supporting devices correctly display the MythTV Media
Server.  My Samsung 4K TV has a lot of display issues with the folder
listings.  PS3 duplicates folders on every folder selection, VLC shows the
media server but all folders are blank.  From the previously reported
MythTV Issues it sounds like many devices do a bad or outdated job of
implementing UPNP.   Even with the weird duplicating issue, the PS3 still
provides the best playback experience outside of using a FE and I was
really disappointed with my TV's native playback performance.
